The pad, at 1101 Green St # 2001, is in Russian Hill’s Bellaire Tower, an Art Deco style building designed by H.C. Baumann circa 1930. It comes with panoramic views, fit for one who governs all he can see, and has, apparently, been “stripped to the studs” and remodeled by interior designer Michael Agins.

Not surprisingly the real-estate blogosphere has already weighed in to pass judgment on the taste on display in what is being described as the Mayor’s “ultimate bachelor pad”.

Over on SocketSite one commenter noted: “It looks like every questionable decorating trend of the past three years and a quarry threw up in there.”

Several observers pointed to the designer’s predilection for the color brown. And it can’t be denied that every room, including the kitchen, appears to be painted in varying shades of taupe or mocha.

But at least one commenter defended Gavin’s choice: “What’s with all the hate for the ‘turd colored walls’ — I wish my turds were such a lovely chocolate color with just a hint of plum.”
